A court in Egypt has sentenced to death 528 supporters of ousted Islamist President Mohammed Morsi.
They were convicted of charges including murdering a policeman and attacks on people and property.
The group is among some 1,200 Muslim Brotherhood supporters on trial, including senior members.
Authorities have cracked down harshly on Islamists since Mr Morsi was removed by the military in July. Hundreds have been killed and thousands arrested.
They are expected to appeal.
The verdict now goes to Egypt's supreme religious authority, the Grand Mufti (a senior Islamic scholar), for approval or rejection, says the BBC's Orla Guerin in Cairo.
Campaigners say that while death sentences are often handed down in Egypt, few have been carried out in recent years.
The final trial session will not be held until 28 April. so there is some time left before the sentence is confirmed and there will be time to appeal in that period, our correspondent adds

Sounds good to me. Hang on.
OMG! Rape jokes, Klan jokes, followed by Comedian Murderers! I feel guilty laughing, but laugh I did. It’s the director’s fault. Nowadays? Fuggitaboutit!
528? In one day? Let’s hope they can keep this pace up for a while! #suckitislam
I don’t guess Obama is still interested in giving them the Blind Sheikh.
Let me be the first of probably many to AMEN that!
Can we throw in a few RINO’s too?
are they using those pig fat greased bullets?
Shhhh! You want another Mutiny?
+1! This is all they understand & up until now, the Muslims have gotten away with murder (& rape. & terrorism- all that they could dish out. Israel was the only exception. And they’ve been vilified for it)
Egypt makes me hopeful that there actually *can* be peace in the ME one day.
You gotta pay closer attention. No one’s getting hung for a political belief. These are the dirt bags involved in ordering/ shooting-to-kill un-armed street protesters. That’s worth the death penalty anytime/anywhere and it speaks to the lack of arms of the population that they’d lived to go to trial. The folks , Being armed to the teeth in this country does indeed keep the gummint brown shirts minding their manners. There would most likely never be a trial here if some dumbass gave the order to shoot peaceful, un-armed protesters.

I'm sure 0dumb0 is pissed over the death sentences issued to his mooozlim brotherhood buddies! Probably unsettling to him as he was getting ready to slice another golf ball!
Wow — they don’t mess around
When the Egyptian Military gives a gang of thugs enough rope to hang themselves, they follow through and make sure than hangings take place.
Let Muslims handle their Muslims. Better them than us.
The critical issue is the imams and their mosques. If they’re allowed to continue to preach the most radical interpretation of Islam, then this is just a carousel on which we’re changing out a few ponies. They’ll have new ones in no time.
If they were serious about ending the threat of radical Islam they’d embrace free markets, end their cronyism and socialism.
Egypt is like having an entire country run by Crook County Democrats.
Subtle...
Obama (like the rest of the left) has a default anti-Israel, anti-American bias, especially when it comes to dark skinned savages who hate the West.
Obama wasn't necessarily "pro Muslim Brotherhood", just biased (and stupid) enough to think political engagement could change them, particularly if we withdrew support from a pro-American dictatorship.
Soros is just a funder of obnoxious NGO's having little or no power outside the US or Western Europe: it's only in the decadent West that people are actually naive enough to think Twitter can overthrow a government. As soon as the Brotherhood took power, the left of center groups funded by Soros were shoved aside, as such useful idiots usually are. Having had a taste of incipient sharia lunacy, a lot of their members are now siding with the new military government.
528...well that’s a good start!
